How I passed the board exam 13th place
Taking a board exam is like giving birth. The whole process takes a considerable time of your life, you are nervous, you don’t want to be disturbed, you want to be absolutely ready for D’ day. Because of that situation, you must give your all to it. Sayang lang kung alanganin ka. You should not disturb your mind by the little things, by your friends who want to go out, by your family. Make them understand that what you’re into will affect the rest of your life and that you have invested enough time, talent, money and effort into it. Here’s how I did it, it may not work for you. I made an outline of the WHOLE field of librarianship (nursing for you) on a long bond paper, folded length wise, with all the bullets; I studied each topic well and after I’m done, I put a check mark on the topic; After I studied everything and if there’s still time, I go over again; I recorded everything that needs to be memorized on a C120 cassette tape and played it over and over again while I’m eating, walking (Sony Walkman), taking a bath, riding a jeepney, and times that I’m not studying and possible to play a tape; I hardly studied at night because after a while, I would just be staring at a page and my mind’s not into it, so better sleep (pundo sa tulog & energy); While reviewing, don’t forget to take your snacks, meals, & vitamins, your mind should be in peak condition, as well as your body (its just like Manny getting ready for a fight); In the morning, I pretend to go to work/school; I take a bath and change to comfortable clothing, and after everybody in the house has left, I study in a location that’s well lighted (natural lighting preferably), well ventilated, and no disturbing mosquitoes ; You should enroll in a review class, why? So that you will get more knowledge from your faculty, from your reviewer, from your classmates, and from the reviewers your classmates may have on hand; During our undergrad, our Faculty reminded us not to throw our notebooks because those are good reviewers too; You should preferably asks or borrow reviewers from other review centers because the more reviewers you are exposed, the more questions, ideas and knowledge you will get, as simply as that; Your exam may be in another city; you may bring your books, notebooks, and reviewers even if you may not read them all, if your subconscious needs to be reassured that your knowledge is just nearby, why not, bring them; you might get a mental block hehehe; You now feel astig, exams? Bring it on! On the day of the exams, be early, wear comfortable clothes; you might be need to bring snacks and the correct set of pens or pencils and your exam permit; Listen intently to the instructions of the proctor, a mistake might jeopardize your exam; Good luck and God bless! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Filipino Librarians" group.
